Final Dallas 3 – Phoenix 1 1st Period: No scoring There was very little to mention in this period. Neither team was really able to grab a hold of the momentum and have sustained pressure. There weren’t many dangerous shots or chances for either side. The Stars had one power-play chance in the period […]

The NHL trade deadline is going to be arriving soon, very soon. There’s a pseudo-deadline this Friday with all of the rosters going through the Olympic freeze. GMs can still talk to each other and plan deals but no players can be moved during the Olympic break. The official deadline is March 5, just one […]

Game 56: Dallas Stars @ Phoenix Coyotes 8:00 PM CT, February 4, 2014 Jobing.com Arena; Glendale, Arizona Coyotes (26-19-10, 62 pts) The Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes usually provide no surprises for Stars fans. The trap-happy Coyotes are slightly different this season though. Instead of being able to rely on their defense to win games, the Yotes […]

Final Dallas 2 – Anaheim 0 1st Period: No scoring Cody Eakin suffered an injury in the first minute when he took a puck to the face. Dan Ellis was clearing the puck from behind the net and sent it flying along the boards. The puck ended up hitting Eakin and he was immediately […]

Final OT Dallas 2 – New Jersey 3 1st Period: 10:59 – Dainius Zubrus (10) Assists: Jaromir Jagr(29), Marek Zidlicky(21) This was easily the worst the Stars have looked for the last two weeks.

Dallas has just about hit the midseason mark, so now’s as good a time as any to take a look at the players on this team and hand out some grades. Tyler Seguin 38 GP, 21 G, 20 A, 41 P, +8 rating, 4 PIM, 117 SOG, 5 PPG, 5 PPA, 19:18 TOI/G We […]

Brenden Dillon Dillon was the single biggest and best surprise from last season. Entering the year fans were hoping that he would be a solid contributor. Dillon ended up being best defenseman on the team and was getting top-pair minutes by the latter stages of the season. He was largely (and criminally) ignored in the […]

Shawn Horcoff Lifelong Oiler veteran Horcoff joined the Stars in a trade that sent Philip Larsen (recently placed on waivers by Edmonton) to Canada. In an offseason in which Dallas completely reworked their center depth, Horcoff was the final piece added. Horcoff, who was Edmonton’s captain, had a tough time in oil country living up […]

Jamie Benn Benn gets a fresh start this year. Aside from the rebranding of the team, Benn’s back to his old position, was made the captain and has a brand new coach to work with. It took a while but this is now finally his team. The added responsibility only increases the pressure on him. […]

The hockey doldrums are well underway, and this month is off to an extremely boring start. There was even less news than usual the past week. The Blackhawks had some minor news by officially signing Theo Peckham to a one-year deal worth $575K. The depth defenseman should spend most of his time in the AHL […]
